Cape Town Bitcoin CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Attention #Bitcoin township builders:
Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town
26 - 28 Jan, 2024
We hereby invite builders from South Africa's townships to apply for an attendance grant, to attend the Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town Conference.
If you live or work in a South African township, and you want to build with #Bitcoin, to encourage adoption at a grassroots level in your township, then this is for you!
The past two years have opened up a window for us. We've seen first-hand that #Bitcoin adoption can have a positive impact in a South African township setting and we'd like to use the Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town conference as a platform, to encourage further adoption at a grassroots level. Specifically within South Africa's townships.
We want to hear what you want to build. And if we like what we hear we want to help you attend the conference and (potentially) help fund your idea following the conference.
Whether it's a circular economy project, a soccer tournament with prize money paid in Bitcoin, Bitcoin education, or whatever you have in mind. As long as it encourages #Bitcoin adoption at a grassroots level, specifically in a South African township setting.
Proof of work for previous projects will be considered, but if this is your first time building something, do still apply. Lack of previous experience does not automatically disqualify you from consideration.
Send your proposal to:
capetown@adoptingbitcoin.org
No need to apply if you just want a free conference ticket and do not have the perseverance to actually build what you've proposed. Also, #Bitcoin only.
The conference organisers are not under any obligation to select any proposal. No amount of funding and/or support for attending the conference, and/or subsequent project support, is guaranteed and will depend entirely on proposals received and the discretion of organisers.
If you want to support this cause and contribute towards the fund, or sponsorship of the conference in general, please contact:
capetown@adoptingbitcoin.org
Adopting Bitcoin Cape Town 2024 is hosted by @Machankura8333 and organised under the @AdoptingBTC brand.
